New Road Glide
Just picked up my new Fugly on Friday was able to get in 500 miles this weekend. I promise the other RG riders I won't tell anyone how much better this bike handles and rides over my SG. Handle bars and mufflers will have to go.

Yep, fugly bike, but great attempt to put lipstick on it with the badass color though. The ride for me is not good, the way the wind wraps around the faring gives me the head shakes whick I cant handle. It did ride nice below 50 though. Again this is just for me and my experience.

I changed the windshield, like I would on an EG anyway.
I changed the bars, ditto.
I changed the seat, ditto.
No more turbulence than an EG and I don't ride a grampa bike.

Thanks, The rubber seal that came on the stock windshield was shorter than the KW shield and looked stupid . I went to KW website to see what they said about it in the instructions. They said it wasn't needed, so the seal will stay on the stock shield for now. I searched on this site and found that there were alot problems with keeping the seal in place.

Thats the reason for the Klock Werks windshield the first day.
